“Lamplight is a third-person action arena game in which you fight against enemies in a steampunk-fantasy environment. Combatants want to steal the Magic Crystal that you were built to protect. Play as Bulb and survive waves by defeating assailants in unique locations in the city of Lamplight.”
MY ROLE: Creative Director, Project Manager, 3D Modeler, everything that is not coding
Duration: Jan - April 2023
Developing this game was my first time working on a solo project. Lamplight was created for my studio art senior showcase; I used the skills I developed throughout college to actualize my vision. Through original concepts and research, I could build the locations I designed. I became more comfortable turning my drawn concepts into full, game-ready models.
I kept a sketchbook on my person at all times during development so I could always draw my ideas if I felt inspired. I conceptualized and created everything you see in the game, but it would not have been possible without my friend Storm Kaffenberger who did the programming and AI movement.
